Microfinance is not simply banking; it is a development tool. It has been estimated that there are 500 million economically active poor people in the world operating microenterprises and small businesses. Most of them do not have access to adequate financial services. The purpose of this Handbook is to bring together in a single source guiding principles and tools that will promote sustainable microfinance and create viable institutions. The Handbook takes a global perspective, drawing on lessons learned from the experiences of microfinance practitioners, donors, and others throughout the world. This volume covers extensively matters pertaining to the regulatory and policy framework and the essential components of institutional capacity building, such as product design, performance measuring and monitoring, and management of microfinance institutions. The handbook has three parts. "Issues in Microfinance Provision," Part I, takes a macroeconomic perspective toward general microfinance issues and is primarily nontechnical. "Designing and Monitoring Financial Products and Services," Part II, narrows its focus to the provision of financial intermediation, taking a more technical approach and moving progressively toward more specific (or micro) issues. "Measuring Performance and Managing Viability," Part III, is the most technical part of the handbook, focusing primarily on assessing the viability of microfinance institutions.

Diploma Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject South Asian Studies, South-Eastern Asian Studies, grade: 1,7, University of Passau, language: English, abstract: Around 52.4% of Indonesia’s 242 Mio. inhabitants have to live and struggle with an income - respectively a purchasing power parity - of less than two dollar per day. All people who live on less below this international benchmark - set by the World Bank - are considered as poor. The poor who dispose of only one dollar a day are considered the extreme or very poor whereas those who have a daily income between one and two dollars are considered as the moderate poor. Both groups are referred to in this work as the poor or low-income households. These low-income households in Indonesia face disadvantages as they are highly vulnerable to risk events such as health or property risks. The concept of vulnerability describes the poor people’s inability to deal with losses which result from the occurrence of an adverse event, e.g. illness or disability and is based on two perceptions. Poor people are most exposed to hazards as they often live and work in a perilous environment. In addition, the poor are the group in society least capable of dealing with losses after the occurrence of risk events. In Indonesia at least “two fifth of the population near the poverty line are ...highly vulnerable to even modest shocks to the economy”. Thus, the economic situation of low-income households is intricate in two ways: „Poor households throughout the world face twin disadvantages. The first is difficulty in generating income, while the second is vulnerability to economic, political and physical downturns. Harder still, the two disadvantages reinforce each other; poverty is a source of vulnerability and repeated exposure to downturns reinforces poverty.” Besides vulnerability the economic situation of low-income households in Indonesia forms a barrier for the use of financial services in general. As low-income households face difficulties in generating regular incomes they only dispose of small funds that can be used as savings, credit collateral or insurance premium. The poor seem to be too poor to afford the premiums for commercial insurance products because these products are designed for the middle and upper-class market segments. As the poor are not able to purchase commercial insurance products they have to have to use alternative measures for dealing with their risks. [...]

The Handbook of Microfinance showcases an expansive collection of works from leading academics and field practitioners. In an attempt to understand the enormous gap between the limited number of clients that are currently benefiting from microfinance services, and the huge number of potential clients that are not, the selected contributions in this comprehensive handbook have one common thread: the prevailing mismatch between demand by clients of microfinance institutions and potential clients selecting themselves out for their demand for a wider array of financial products which is not being met.The scope of the book is wide, and explores successes and failures, main challenges and debates, methodologies for impact evaluation via random trials, leading trends in Asia versus Latin America, main efforts in Africa, the importance of value chains in Central America, ethical and gender issues, savings, microinsurance, governance, commercialization trends and the potential advantages and disadvantages of it. This exhaustive Handbook also features main lessons from informal finance and 19th-century credit cooperatives addressing the above-mentioned mismatch.
